Hearing this has made me smile for the 1st time since I heard about Roddys passing. He was so friendly and patient and kind to fans when he did his stand-up show in Dublin last year. He would have gone on longer than planned if the venue had let him.
fitzrite Heard it already, a couple of dozen times. That version has become my favorite, nothing against Roddy Piper. You had less dollars to spend on production, but still recorded a kick ass song with a more organic feel to it. Too much drum machine and effect-laden guitar on this version for my liking. Wonder how many people noticed that they stuck 'kiss my ass' in the end of the song, though?:)
synth on a plinth Thanks for the kind words. I agree about the drum machine and the processed guitars--but I LOVE those horns! That's the Tower of Power horn section.
Let's not forget Rick Derringer on guitar & bass, with Jimmy Bralowler programming the drums (I had a copy of the vinyl). No one sounds like the TOP horns tho. Maybe you could re-record the song with them in it?
Damn, who knew Piper had such a set of pipes! And I'm sorry, to me, it's clear he is singing "Fuck" instead of "For". Just slurring it, saying it like "fuh". Basically they knew they were being "naughty" but figured the average fan wouldn't be aware of the Mike Angelo original and just accept he's saying "For Everybody"
The lyric was changed to "for" everybody for the Wrestling Album but even if you don't know the Mike Angelo original, you know full well what Roddy Piper's message for everybody was... as in flipping everyone a double bird.
Right, but for this recording they had to alter the lyrics. I was just making the connection between the two. I do appreciate the trivia, others will learn something interesting as well.
i'm 41 years old. i'm 6'2', 233 pounds, just like roddy (just a coincidence). i'm covered in tats, my head is shaved, got a big goatee, & 2 earrings in each ear. old ladies & children are scared of me. yet, i still bawl like a baby about twice a week when remember that he's gone. i got into rasslin' in 1981, i was 5. did chores around the neighborhood to earn money to buy the magazines every month. first saw roddy in the mags while he was feuding with buddy rose in portland, just before he went to georgia. loved him instantly. at least he went peacefully while sleeping. dreaming of kilts, dog collars with chains, coconuts, sleeperholds, & bubblegum. kick ass in heaven, roddy, & know that you're immortal. much love to kitty, anastasia, ariel, fallon, & colt. sincerely, j.d. , montreal, canada.
I wrote this song, and I got to meet Piper in person and talked with him on the phone a couple of times. He was actually a very likeable cat. We discussed doing a duet version of the song a couple of years ago with the original title, "Fuck Everybody." When I last spoke with him on the phone I got the feeling he wasn't gonna last long. Rest easy, old buddy.
Woah, you're writer of this song!? If you really are the writer of this one song, then you are amazing and I only have one thing to say. FUCK EVERYBODY!
I think he was referring to Adrian Adonis's car crash, in celebrity ghost stories, Rowdy mentioned that when he found out that it was Adrian Adonis ghost in his house. Check out celebrity ghost stories.
So this dude who met Roddy at a con asked him a question about this song and the following recollection is hilarious.... "Being a careful listener, I asked him (softly, as this question contained a swear word) if “For Everybody,” based on the lyrics, was actually supposed to be “Fuck Everybody”? His eyes lit up as he declared, “Chaz! That's exactly right!” He went on to tell me the story about how he was somewhat at odds with the makers of the album at the time. When he brought them the track under the title “For Everybody,” he insisted on recording his own vocals last. When it was finally time for him to lay down his vocals for the chorus, which had the background vocals already applied, Piper joyfully chanted “Fuck Everybody!” each time. Apparently, the person overseeing the recording in the booth didn’t notice Piper’s new word choice until the very end, as his eyes went wide and his face went white. Piper finished the take and said, “Sorry, can't rerecord this, I gotta run.”
Hahahaha this made me remember my last high school year, while all of my classmates listened regeton i used to listen this shit along with the other songs of the album... Hahaha great times

BEST CUT ON WHOLE ALBUM!!!!!
By far 👍👍👍
By a country mile
I love how he's slurring his "Fucks" to get past the censors. And then the backup singers singing "Kiss my ass".

RIP Roddy Piper. God bless his wife and children. No one was like him in the history of this business. He will be missed. RIP
I admired the Rowdy Scot for his truthful statements about how people disliked him and he loved it.
Piper hit the nail on the head when he said there's only 1 of him

For those of you who asked, the original version, "Fuck Everybody" by Mike Angelo & the Idols is available on iTunes, Spotify, and Amazon.

fitzrite Thanks for tellin' us.
Frankly, I prefer Roddy's version over the original. The original doesn't have the punch as Roddy's version.
@@kenterminateddq5311 well the horns sure do kick ass, that's for sure
RIP Hot Rod I miss you U Da man at least you're with fallen ledgends love Hot Rod God Bless and real men wear kilts.
i'm completely crushed. i love you, roddy, rest in peace.
Rowdy Roddy Piper. Gone but never forgotten.
Man, Roddy can really sing his ass off.
Damn straight, RIP Roddy Piper
Surprisingly, I had no idea that Roddy piper can sing that good. Our IP Mr. piper.
Kayanda Eddings he had a great voice
He really was a Renaissance man.
I'm going miss this guy. RIP Roddy and thank you.
Damn, who knew Piper had such a set of pipes!

If you dig his singing here, you might wanna check out the 2-track record he put out in '92. It's called "I'm Your Man".
The lyric was changed to "for" everybody for the Wrestling Album but even if you don't know the Mike Angelo original, you know full well what Roddy Piper's message for everybody was... as in flipping everyone a double bird.
Long live the memory of the late, great Roddy Piper. xoxo The Clarences
RIP Roddy. You were the greatest!
Dude could sing! Love this. RIP
Just replace "for" with "fuck", and you'll all be just dandy.
A song that I ought to adopt as my personal theme...and I know I'm not the only one. :p
Brian E Actually "Fuck Everybody" was the original version, recorded by Mike Angelo & the Idols in 1980.
Right, but for this recording they had to alter the lyrics. I was just making the connection between the two.
I do appreciate the trivia, others will learn something interesting as well.
Brian E I would rewrite it as "Screw Everybody" but then again, if WWF was targeted for kids, how would someone rewrite "Fuck Everybody"????
and this song fit hot rod very well
@@kenterminateddq5311 because Piper was the one R rated guy that could get away with it.

Amen Brother!
The Wrestling Album is a great album, put together with wrestlers singing. The stars of wrestling, were really good on this record.
The greatest heel!

Wrestling with Wreget and RIP Roddy
Grant Hudson don't be such a YO-YO
Sweet! Childhood memories right there!
This song pretty much sums up exactly how I feel.
👍👍👍
Rowdy Roddy Piper. Legend! Enough Said!
A true legend who played such a big part in wrestling becoming a national and global phenomenon in the 80's. R.I.P. Hot Rod!
The roddy piper version of this song is surprisingly better then the original
He should've said " i ain't FOR EVERYBODY!"
Amen, Roddy!
80s great era!
Rowdy piper was secretly randy Newman
Sounds like Randy Newman probably is
My sentiments exactly!
How is this legitimately fucking awesome? I am blown away!
he was Rowdy before roddy was cool!
just when you think you got the answers i change the questions
I think he was referring to Adrian Adonis's car crash, in celebrity ghost stories, Rowdy mentioned that when he found out that it was Adrian Adonis ghost in his house. Check out celebrity ghost stories.
FOR EVERYBODY!
I'd love it if they'd play this on WWE now only replace the "For' In favor of the original "FUCK EVERYBODY!"
You know, I'm starting to suspect that they might... just MIGHT... have changed a couple of key words.
Brilliant only one hotrod
I have this album on tape 🙂
Sounds like Randy Newman.
god does this bring back memories, wonder how much youd get for this on ebay
It was originally "kissed a lot of ass."
LMAO, a G-rated "FUCK EVERYBODY". XD
Yes 😂❤ it's a remake . The song original title 😅 f---- everybody
"The World May No Like Me" was NOT the original title. The label, Hottrax, made me change it. Check the songwriter's credit, smart guy.
This is like the gayest song on the album.
you would know
@@mightymackerelmedia8770 my comment is still relevant.
This is the best song on the album... piper is doing his best randy Newman / springsteen
I'd pay a million billion dollars for an uncensored version of this. You know they recorded one and it's in Vince's vault.
It has poop on it.
The original song was made by Mike D’Angelo and the Idols.
@@drhughjass Both songs helped me with my depression.

❤God bless, Rodrick Tooms aka Rowdy Roddy Piper!!!!
He's saying "fuck" and slurring it enough to not be obvious.
Roddy Pipers vocals rip. He was a true artist in so many ways!
It´s a cover of Mike Angelo & The Idols - The World May Not Like Me
He displays pretty good vocal range here....
Love it not only if Roddy a legend, but he's a class act too! I met him recently. He was hillarious and very cool
You can hear Piper literally say "Fuck everybody!" before he realises and says "For everybody" XD
They kept the commit suicide line in the edited version?? I'm surprised
I was suprised when I heard that so much for family friendly
He sorta sounds like Randy Newman, now that I listed after 25 years... GO RODDY!
Notice that Piper actually say "Fuck everybody" instead of "FOR Everybody!" lol
Yes, I can hear that buried in the mix underneath the background voices
Hahahaha this made me remember my last high school year, while all of my classmates listened regeton i used to listen this shit along with the other songs of the album... Hahaha great times
Did your version have "I kicked a lot ass & lost a lot of pride"?
kissed
Sometimes this song describes life
No pun intended to the goat, but Piper really had pipes like that. RIP Hotrod!!!
Does everyone just shout 'fuck everybody' when the time comes or is it just me? 😂
It's for everybody, although I hear it too.
🕊️Happy Birthday Roddy Piper‼️🍻🥃
This was great
Such an entertaining ass song 😂😂
I used to own this and volume 2 on cassette back in the 80s
Piper truly was a Renaissance man.
BEST. COVER. EVER.
Yes that's what he said lol ;) fo everybody right
Fu everybody? Lol
it saids like duck but I know its for
ROddy Piper is the only racist bigot that I can't help but love. Great wrestler and his on-screen persona was legendary.
clark bent Yeah right he's a racist you know him that good to know that personally? If not STFU
Tariq Busy 3 Years later and that comment is just as stupid as it was the day you wrote it.
Obviously you didnt write the song so youd know that the song was known as F--K Everybody but the actual title was "The World May Not Like Me"
